Mmmm chili…

I freaking LOVE chili!

The different textures, flavours and aromas all sing to my heart. Ground meats, juicy sausage, beautifully textured pinto and kidney beans. Wait.. we can’t do beans.. can we?

🎶 Crying a river

It’s okay, it’s okay, I’ve made it up by adding 3 types of delicious meat all with different textures and flavours, low carb vegetables and some black soy beans!

And ohhhh boy, dang-a-lang, this chili is SO DELICIOUS!

Soy is not strict keto approved but these little black soy beans are low carb and share the exact texture profile as black beans! So exciting! If you are following a strict keto diet, you can skip them, but if you are eating low carb, enjoy these little beauties whenever you are craving beans!

I hope you love this fully loaded Instant Pot Low Carb Chili as much as I do!

What ingredients you’ll need to make this Low Carb Chili

Three types of meat.. say whaaa?!

Yup, amazing right?

I like to load my low carb chili with ground beef, italian susage links and pulled pork! They not only bring different flavours to the chili, but a wide variety of texture which I believe is super important.

How to make low carb chili

Heat your instant pot on the sauté mode with a tbsp of avocado oil. Once hot, add the sausage links and cook until the sausage is fully cooked, turning often to sear all sides, then remove from the pot and set aside.

Add the onion, celery and red pepper to the hot pot. Cook until the onion is translucent then add the ground beef, jalapeños, chili powder, paprika, cumin, salt, pepper and garlic. Chop the italian sausage into slices, add to the pot and continue to cook until the beef is no longer pink.

*Be careful with the jalapeños for two reasons:

1. The juice burns your skin easily. Either use gloves or wash your hands with olive oil before washing again with soap and water.

2. The seeds have a beautiful heat, but can be too intense if too much is added. I like to add 1/2 the seeds for a fairly spicy dish. If you don’t like spice, discard all of the seeds and if like it super spicy, add them all.

Pour in the beef broth, give it a stir, and scrap any little blackened bits from the bottom of the instant pot that may have collected from sautéing. It is important none are left behind or you could get the dreaded BURN error.

Turn the steam release valve to the sealed position and turn the instant pot on to high pressure for 25 minutes. Once fully cooked allow the instant pot to naturally release for 10 minutes, then using the necessary precautions, quick release.

If the chili is not as thick as you like, the pot can be turned on to the saute mode for a couple of minutes until the chili has reduced to your liking.

Stir in the sukrin gold and serve hot. Garnish with grated cheddar or sour cream if you like!

What to serve with Low Carb Chili

There are lots of delicious side dishes to pair with Low Carb Chili. Here is a list of my favourites:

Don’t want to? You can either replace the pulled pork with cooked chicken or turkey, or skip the meat completely.

Black Soy Beans

Like stated above, black soy beans do not fit into a strict keto lifestyle because soy products are not nice list.

Black soy beans are completely low carb, but if you are following a keto diet, you can just skip them.

I like to use the Eden Organic Black Soy Beans for all my beanie needs. Check out this epic Instant Pot Low Carb Refried Beans recipe using these little gems or this Low Carb Hot Bean and Cheese Dip! Yum!

Instructions

Equipment Needed

Directions

Heat the instant pot on sauté mode with a tbsp of avocado oil. Once hot, sear all sides of the sausage links, flipping every minute or so.

Once the sausage is cooked, remove from the pot and add the onion, celery and red pepper. Cook until the onion is translucent then add the ground beef, jalapeños, chili powder, paprika, cumin, salt, pepper and garlic. Chop the italian sausage into slices, add to the pot and continue to cook until the beef is no longer pink.

Pour in the beef broth, give it a stir, and scrap any little blackened bits from the bottom of the instant pot that may have collected from sautéing. It is important none are left behind or you could get the dreaded BURN error.

Turn the steam release valve to the sealed position and turn the instant pot on to high pressure for 25 minutes. Once fully cooked allow the instant pot to naturally release for 10 minutes, then using the necessary precautions, quick release.

Stir in the sukrin gold and serve hot!

Notes

* If the chili is thinner than you desire after the pressure cook setting is complete, turn the instant pot back to the sauté mode and reduce until the desired thickness has been achieved.

**Be careful with the jalapeños for two reasons:

1.The juice burns your skin easily. Either use gloves or wash your hands with olive oil before washing again with soap and water.

2. The seeds have a beautiful heat, but can be too intense if too much is added. I like to add 1/2 the seeds for a medium spice dish. If you don’t like spice, discard all of the seeds and if like it super spicy, add them all.

Hi, I’m Aleta! I love to create healthy recipes for my family; meals my two little stinkers actually love to eat. Raising kids can be hard, but eating healthy doesn’t have to be with the right recipes!

I think I could eat chili every single week, the only thing that stops me is while hubby likes it, he doesn’t want it every week. Darn him! 😉 Your recipe looks excellent and I look forward to making it!
